??? noo u lucky bum, the only jets in action i've seen in my life was a single super hornet flying over nyc. i had really bad eyes and i didn't have my glasses but i recognized the over-all shape and the sound of the engine made me want to look up.

The SR-71 is awesome, it's popularity generated a sort of a 'following cult' which was gathered all these years (because of the aircraft's mysteriousness, technical specs and simply because of the fact that it's sexy-looking :D ).

It's definitely one of the most famous Skunk Works products (alongside many public favorites such as the U-2, F-117, F-22 or F-35 among several others).
